4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking and Initial Placement
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
- Place the unit upright on a flat, stable surface in the desired location.
- Important: Before using the dehumidifier for the first time, let it stand upright for at least 2 hours. This allows the refrigerant pressure inside the system to balance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
- Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the air intake and exhaust vents for proper airflow.
4.2 Power Connection
- Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V electrical outlet.
4.3 Drainage Options
The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods: manual emptying of the water tank or continuous drainage using the included hose.
4.3.1 Manual Drainage
- The unit comes with a built-in 11.2-pint water tank.
- When the tank is full, the 'Tank Full' indicator light will illuminate, and an audible alarm will sound. The unit will automatically shut off.
- Carefully remove the water tank, empty the collected water, and reinsert the tank securely. The unit will resume operation.
4.3.2 Continuous Drainage
- For continuous operation without emptying the tank, attach the provided 47-inch drainage hose to the drainage outlet on the rear of the unit.
- Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water into a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink). Do not allow the hose to kink or be elevated, as this will prevent proper drainage.
